Donald Trump's cabinet continues to seem like a long series of depressing jokes. For Treasury secretary he picked former Goldman Sachs banker Steven Mnuchin, despite spending the campaign trying to paint Clinton as being in Goldman's pockets. For the head of the EPA he picked Scott Pruitt who doesn't believe in climate change. And to lead HUD he picked Ben Carson, who has no qualification for the job at hand. Each one seems more and more like satire than the last. But now, I think we may have officially reached the breaking point. There's no way that any other appointee will be as ridiculous and ironic as Trump's choice for Labor Secretary Andy Puzder. Now let's talk about what the Labor department does in the most basic and broad strokes possible.

The Department of Labor (DOL) fosters and promotes the welfare of the
job seekers, wage earners, and retirees of the United States by
improving their working conditions, advancing their opportunities for
profitable employment, protecting their retirement and health care
benefits, helping employers find workers, strengthening free
collective bargaining, and tracking changes in employment, prices, and
other national economic measurements.

So not only is he anti-minimum wage increases, he's also pro-robots taking over American jobs. Now look, that's a fine opinion to have as a CEO of a company, but to be the guy looking out for American job seekers? That seems pretty bad! Well, at least he just seems like a rich jerk, and not an out and out asshole, right?
